Do people not think...

[ShutYourIgnorantBitchyMouth]

Before hurling obscenities at a total stranger.

Seriously think before you open your mouth.

That person could have just lost their parent, could have a seriously ill child, could have just been told they are dying, could be having such a shit day and you've pushed them over the edge to suicide.

Aibu that before you open your mouth with nastiness, you should think!

I agree - no one should hurl obscenities at anyone.

BUT the rude person could equally be in one of the groups you refer to and have just been pushed over the edge......

Yes.
Can’t think of many circumstances when nastiness is called for. Maybe to silence a bully?
But you’re right, you never know what is going on for others.

Seeline - I do suppose that's true.

Everyone just needs to use their brains a little more and their mouths a lot less.

We are breeding an ignorant culture with celebrities being famous for being ignorant.
